Description

Helene Stapinski's memoir, "Five-Finger Discount - A Crooked Family History," entwines her family's story with Jersey City's long history of crime and corruption. With production underway to make "Five-Finger Discount" into a documentary film, Helene talks about her childhood and of how - after years of trying to break away from the city that was her hometown - she came to embrace the stories that led her to write the book that The Star-Ledger recently said may be the most authentic book about Jersey City ever written. Today's episode is sponsored by The GI Go Fund.
